Dior Diorskin Nude Makeup #031 Sand

I have been experimenting with new foundations lately. I tend to not wear liquid foundations and have been a long-time fan of Laura Mercier's Mineral Powder; however, these lightweight foundations have been increasingly popular lately and as a woman in her mid-40's, I've been noticing changes in my skin.

I recently swatched a few shades at my local Dior counter and was intrigued by the Diorskin Nude makeup. The shade, "031- Sand" looked like a good match for me, so I asked the kind SA for a sample. It is a medium beige with yellow undertones. I have been wearing this for a couple of weeks now and I must say, I really do like this foundation. Now, we are in the middle of winter, so I'm not sure how this will hold-up during the hot and humid summer.

I love the consistency of this foundation -- it's very creamy, but not thick. I apply this foundation with my Sonia Kashuk liquid foundation brush and it applies so beautifully. Just be careful not to apply too much, because at the end of the day, it will appear a cakey mess! I just dust a finishing powder over, (whichever one I am currently using). I do have to touch-up after a couple of hours to keep the shine down.

I really am enjoying this foundation. I really don't need another foundation right now, so I'm just going to use up the sample that I have and contemplate buying it later. Of course, the new Dior Air Nude just came out and I haven't sampled that one yet! The Dior Air Nude is a lightweight "serum" foundation; there is also a Dior Air Powder Compact, for those ladies who like to set their makeup with powder and to carry for touch-ups.

I love Estee Lauder's Double Wear, SIP Lip liners! I currently own "01 Pink", "03 Tawny" and "13 Tearose", which is a sample I received in a GWP. These lip liners go on very smoothly and they don't tug and they really do "stay in place", and are long-wearing. The Pink shade looks lovely with a sheer gloss and the Tawny is very versatile and can be worn with pinks and nudes and the "Tearose" is my fave right now; it's a gorgeous deep-toned rose with mauvey shimmer in it. Love, love! <3

I have been driving myself nuts lately, experimenting with different foundations. My HG has been Laura Mercier's Mineral Powder (and always keep in my collection). Many times, while in ULTA or Sephora, I would glance at the Becca counter, but never really tried her products. I was interested in the Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme, so one day, decided to take a gamble on it. I chose the shade "Noisette", which is a neutral-medium shade. The other two shades for medium skintone is "Nude" (medium w/yellow) and "Olive", which is a deeper yellow tone -- too deep for my skin, but would be great if you have a tan. I tried the "Nude", which is fine for me, but a bit too much on the yellow side. I have found that "Noisette" is perfect for me because it has a balance of yellow and neutral tones. I have to say, Becca has beautiful foundations and it's very easy to find a shade that works for you. Now, onto the formula. I really h…
